The acceleration impacts of calcium sulfoaluminate belite ferrite (CSABF)—a cement produced from industrial side streams—on the hydration and strength development Portland (PC) paste cured at ?5 °C with without pre-curing room temperature were investigated. eco-friendly CSABF content on setting time hardened properties pastes Freezing point amount freezable water (FW) decreased pre-curing. Hydr...

We investigated the effect of salt, sugar, and hydrolyzed egg yolk protein (HEY) on yolk's rheological properties, thermal behavior, microstructure for a better understanding their gelation inhibition mechanism. Salted samples had highest yield stress, followed by HEY sugared samples. With addition denaturation temperature amount free water significantly increased. Conversely, sugar no signific...

The purpose of this study was to assess the ovulatory response and embryo production after repeated superovulation of selected high-prolificacy Rasa Aragonesa ewes at the end of their reproductive life. A total of 211 superovulatory treatments were performed during the breeding seasons of 3 consecutive years. Ewes were given the same gonadotrophin treatment up to three times at intervals of at ...

Data were tenderness measures on steaks from 237 bulls (Group II) slaughtered after producing freezable semen and on 1,431 related steers and heifers (market animals, Group I) from Angus, Hereford, Pinzgauer, Brahman, and Sahiwal crosses from the Germ Plasm Evaluation project at the U.S. Meat Animal Research Center. Tenderness was assessed through Warner-Bratzler Shear Force (SF), taste panel t...

Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a linear polysaccharide naturally found in the eye and therefore is one of the most promising biomaterials for corneal endothelial regenerative medicine. This study reports, for the first time, the development of overrun-processed porous HA hydrogels for corneal endothelial cell (CEC) sheet transplantation and tissue engineering applications. The hydrogel carriers were c...

Plant cryopreservation is useful for long term storage of clonal germplasm and endangered species. Clonally propagated crops which produce recalcitrant seeds cannot be easily conserved using conventional methods. Preservation plants in vitro limited to two years not ideal a very time. The need conserve plant genetic resources through techniques mitigate the effects climate change such as extinc...

In this paper, we present the SensOrg, a musical Cyberinstrument designed as a modular assembly of input/output devices and musical software, mapped and arranged according to functional characteristics of the Man-Instrument system. We discuss how the cognitive ergonomics of non-verbal and symbolic task modalities influenced the design of our hardware interface for asynchronous as well as synchr...
